awwwww, they aren't that bad.  I would buy from either them or marlin etc.... if service, price, application were right. but that's my  :twocents:
I'm going yota JUST so I can buy from Marlin more.

Big Rocks is in Vancouver Wa. He does fab work, SAS, makes bumpers yada yada. Talked to the owner (Greg I think if I remember) a couple years ago when I was laid off for the winter about helping him out but he was looking for a fabricator he could pay $12 hr  :talkingn: ceeya!!

gee i get the point all you HYPER sensitive people you have made it clear that you dont like the caps lock.

I just wanted to know what your take on this growing company was.  and as far as the product sold you can bet that the trail crap that they sell is already out the door, they cant stand doing bussiness with a bunch of conartist's.  I have recently purchased some product from this company and will be posting some pictures of it soon.

I dont know what you all have heard but Greg up at BigRocks has the BEST customer service i have seen in this industry (sorry marlin). and his product line is based around QUALITY not quanity like the other competitors and this is jsut one of the things that makes BigRock superior to others. 

I have bought the BigRocks front and rear suspension from Greg and i have to tell you this is by FAR the best and most complete suspension system for a leaf spring toyota on the market today.  My brother has marlin 5" springs on his truck and the first set of them went to crap so they sent him a second set and the drivers side spring is saging so bad that the truck leans on that side now and its only been a couple of months. 

BigRocks spings are made right here in Portland Oregon to his specs.  They are the flatest 5" springs i have ever seen and they flex like mad, they are a ture 2" forward and have steel degree shims built into them, the rears are 56" 8 or 9 leaf pack that makes it ride like chevys but still have plenty of flex and load capacity.  This kit went togather like it is expected to and i had absolutley no troubles with anything, all the fabricated parts were perfect and no extra grinding or modification were nessacery.

I am just here to inform those looking for a product other than what everyone else has that is better and a much higher quality than the big three. I have been looking for someone like this and was at the point where i was just about to give in and buy something else cause no one had what i was looking for untill i found BigRocks and made the trip to Washington and now i am glad that i did cause this is like i said the BEST and i want nothing less.

Thats my   :twocents:

i will post pics tomarrow

nice looking truck man looks like those springs flex and clear ur tires good do u have a body lift on it also.
If you didn't make it, and it ain't broke, you didn't try hard enough.
